If you enter a value in a blank field, that value will be applied to all the selected
text. If you check or uncheck a gray check box, that style setting will be applied
to or removed from all selected text.
Use the Character tab of the Measurements palette to format text.
Applying paragraph attributes
Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a
whole. They include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings. To apply
attributes to selected paragraphs, use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements
palette.
You can copy any applied paragraph formats from one paragraph to other
paragraphs in the same box or text chain. To copy applied paragraph formats,
select the paragraph or range of paragraphs that you want to change, then
press Option+/Alt+Shift while clicking anywhere in the paragraph with the
formats you want to copy. Copying paragraph formats in this way will not
change any character attributes.
Controlling alignment
You can choose from seven paragraph alignments: Left, Centered, Right,
Justified, Forced, Towards Spine and Away From Spine. The Forced option aligns
all lines between the left and right indentations, like the Justified option, but also
justifies the last line (if there is a return at the end of the paragraph).
To set the alignment of selected text, do one of the following things:
Choose an alignment from the Style > Alignment submenu.
Click an alignment icon in the Home tab or the Paragraph tab of the
Measurements palette.
Use the keyboard commands.
For facing pages documents, there was no easy way to set the text alignments
to follow the spine - requiring that different paragraph styles were defined for
recto and verso pages and many users requested for an option in paragraph
style to let text align towards the spine or away from the spine. QuarkXPress
2019 introduces these options as part of paragraph alignment enhancement.
